Cynical Villagers
by awwshoot
Cynical Villagers changes how villagers are cured after a zombie infection, letting players trade for their cure instead of waiting on a long process.
What it does
The author describes the approach as a faster way to get villagers back in trade, with emeralds as the cost. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. It is open source under the MIT License and is published for Fabric only, in a single build for 1.18.1.
Key features
Alternative cure route
Zombified villagers can be cured through an alternative method instead of the standard cure process.
Repeatable curing
The cure can be repeated over and over, which lets a player keep converting villagers as long as the trade is worth it.
Emerald cost
The alternative cure is paid for with emeralds rather than by waiting through the full cure sequence.

What the author says
We all know you can zombify and cure villagers over and over again until their prices are so low you can get infinite emeralds out of them. Why not skip the long, cruel process of forcing these guys to cross the brink of death over and over again? It's just a golden apple and a splash potion of weakness when you get…
